During my Spring break I discovered this anime thanks to a YouTube channel that shares anime summaries. It caught my attention right away and pretty much finished watching it in about a week.
Aka Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku, is an 11 episodes long anime based on a Japanese manga by Fujita. This romantic comedy shows the life of Hirotaka, Narumi, Koyanagi and Kabakura; 4 coworkers who become close because they all have one thing in common, they are all otaku who usually hide their hobbies in their working environment.
Here's a short summary I found online cuz I'm not good at writing summaries, hehehe: "After discovering that they work at the same company, a gaming crazed otaku and a fujoshi reunite for the first time since middle school. After some post-work drinking sessions they begin dating, but will it be a perfect relationship for the two?"
Even tho it is supposed to be focused on Hirotaka and Narumi's relationship (two childhood friends who decide to date because it's "convenient" even tho they are not each other's type), they also show the relationship between Koyanagi and Kabakura (which is really funny) and, Kou and Naoya (Hirotaka's younger and adorable brother). Plus we can see how their friendship evolves and becomes stronger even if they have completely different personalities.
It is a very relaxed, every day life kind of story with lots of funny moments and (other) anime and game references because in that group, there are gamers, manga and anime lovers and even a cosplayer. They also have cute game version episodes. (If that makes sense).
To me, it was really fun and relatable. It kinda reminded me of me and my group of friends. That's why I obsessed quickly. (not that it doesn't happen often tho...)
This anime was released on 2018 and also has 3 OVA which are pretty good too. Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii: Youth, they were released in 2019.
There's also a live action movie that I haven't watched yet but, I defo will and, of course, the manga. I think I might end up buying it at some point cuz, from what I've seen online, there won't be a second season cuz, apparently, the anime covered everything on the manga. (°n°)
Anyway guys, this is a very short and random chit chat but, I really wanted to share it cuz... I'm obsessed. Feel free to let me know if you've watched it, if you liked it and even if you could relate to one of the characters.
